Dreading this match, Welbz is the new Suarez.
I need to do FPL as well, is Sanchez still alive?
In that, you pray he doesn't score against you, never mind score the winner

Eh, Kick Ass 2 isn't great but it isn't that bad.
It's a great movie. Don't bother with the second.
That's disappointing to hear. I liked this one enough to almost want to read the comics. Almost.

I didn't watch Sin City 2 as the first was shitty enough, It wasn't even that. Apparently the second is even worse? It's hard to feel sympathy for the ones who paid to watch it though, the same for those that went to see the amazing spiderman 2.pretty.
kick ass 2 is horrific
After Ra's Van Ghul shrugged of Dat Guy's chances at Man Utd, the footballing Sods' Law Gods will ensure that he ruins Man Utd day later today. He'll get the first goal or score the winner.
Amazing Spiderman 2 was dire. Sony should just come to deal about the rights with Marvel & Disney. They'll get more money that way.

Hyperbole isn't helping your point Hixx.
Sin City 1 was shit as well.
it is almost as bad as sucker punch
sucker punch took me 3 sittings
kick ass 2 has the honour of being the worst film I have ever watched in one go
wtf
I like x men 2.
Sin City has horrific dialogue and a bunch of good actors butchering said dialogue. Editing is awful and it feels like a parody. Looks decent. That's it.
Used to like it when I was 12. Rewatched it. Terrible.

It's not like Sin City was made in 1930. It was a bit shit at the time as well, remember watching it with my dad and brother and hating every second of it.

Sin City was so disappointing. I read the comics first and the tone of them was very dark and nihilistic.
Then Robert Rodriguez came along and apparently asked his actors to turn in a pantomime quality performance. It's like dark noir material processed through the prism of a hyperactive idiot. There could barely be a less appropriate director for the material.

I'd rather watch Sin City than Watchmen, tbh.

Please. I just said I liked both kickass, blade runner and boyhood in the last few posts.
Sin City just isn't a good movie.
Now From Dusk Till Dawn, that's a good movie by Rodriguez.

Aye, and he almost fucked that up with the random inviting his mariachi mates out for a gunfight scene which I pretty much have to skip through every time I watch it because it's so embarrassingly done.

missing out on Mata still hurts
I don't really know, to be honest. changes a lot. probably have to go with Die Hard or After Hours or like... one of the Charlie Kaufman films (not synecdoche though)
I do love Fincher, Spielberg, and Malick though. I'd say "who doesn't?" but I know a lot of people harbor an irrational hatred towards Spielberg because he's one of the very few directors who can actually pull off a sentimental story.
So you think Tree of Life is a good film?
Sin City was crap.
Tree of Life is the best film of the decade. That probably won't change.

I want JTB's opinion though. It would be weird if he rated Tree of Life, but didn't like Blade Runner. Both beautiful films that are slow paced.
yeah, I liked, but didn't love, it the first time I saw it but it's grown on me a lot. I still think the sean penn scenes are terrible and add nothing to the film, but they don't bother me as much as they did the first time I saw it. and the childhood stuff remains incredible.
I prefer Malick's pre-haitus stuff to his Thin Red Line and beyond output, though. It has nothing to do with the time period or anything or a loss in talent , but I think Malick (and certainly his style) works best when in those concentrated 80-90 minute bursts. I don't want to call Malick indulgent because that's the whole fucking point, but his films that are longer than two hours are a bit too bloated for me (see: the new world).
I don't think Blade Runner is slow at all. I don't really mind Tree of Life's pacing, more just Sean Penn being terrible.
I don't think the two movies have much in common. My standard for Blade Runner, like the film at its highest aspiration, would be something like Chinatown. and I don't think it's remotely close to as good as Chinatown.

The ending of Tree of Life was kind of crap though.
Days of Heaven, with Tree of Life, Thin Red Line, and Badlands all tied for a distant second
I like the ending. a very personal, spiritual end to a very personal, spiritual film. it's so desperately earnest that I couldn't help but be moved by it.
especially everything with the
. also daddy issues. I love that shit in stories: books, films, everything

Does football manager come with any sound, music, or anything? Ive loaded it up a few times (still havent actually played a match yet) and there is no sound. Maybe there just isnt any?
There's no music but crowd sounds should be on by default. Check the 'Preferences' screen. Just stick Spotify, iTunes or anything else on in the background instead.
1) Duncan Castles is full of shit, this is known.
2) Why would it have happened last season, when we were for a long stretch the best team in the league?
First time I actually feel optimistic about this game.
Sanchez will carry us. Love him.

Ugh the movie discussion.
Who cares about the story or whether the film has a plot, just turn your brain off and enjoy/hate.
I really like Blade Runner but fuck Tree of Life.

Why do you make yourself so difficult to love, FF?
Tree of life is good apart from the Penn sections
Forgot how good GTA is. Played for about 10 hours just today. How disgusting. First person mode is fucking great.
Not excited for tomorrow at all. We're going to lose. Just can't handle the amount of injuries we have, unfortunately.

I see Blade Runner and Chinatown both in a similar revisionist noir vein. they use their various settings and plot devices both as window dressing and to bring various themes to the forefront (sci-fi LA is obviously a bit more flashy than 1920s LA, but they both weren't contemporary to the films' production), but, at their core, they're noir films. structurally, plot-wise, character-wise, etc. and even then, I don't think future LA in blade runner is all that different from water starved 1920s LA. the settings are different but what they're trying to do and how they're trying to get there are the same
You aren't going to lose. It's fucking Arsenal, m9
